/ironic mode on/ why of all names choosing just something that closely

URL() in web2py is a function to create urls (usually related to web2py 
applications).
If you have an url that is complete (such as http://www.gov-ideas.com/) you 
don't need to pass it to the URL function.

tl;dr: use
db.SuperObjectURL.URL.represent = lambda v, r: A(r.URL, _href=r.URL)
